Sometimes you come across something that is so retina-scorching ugly that no one says that there is no arguing about taste. This is also the case with this Porsche 911 Turbo S (993) from 1998, which is for sale at a dealer in Canada. The advantage is, it has only 135 km on the clock.
You can still have an almost endless bank account, taste is not for sale. That becomes clear when you see this Porsche 911 Turbo S. From the outside, the Porsche still gets the benefit of the doubt. Not everyone will be charmed by the mint green, but there are undoubtedly eccentrics who like it. Yet they also scratch their heads when they open the door. The sea of ​​orange and yellow is ‘overwhelming’ to say the least.
Orange and yellow as far as the eye can see
The seats, the steering wheel, the dashboard, almost everything has a brightly colored leather jacket. Even the headlining and interior mirror did not escape the leather jaundice. Because the plastic interior parts also had to fit within the color palette, they were also given a new look. Only the mats and some panels on the dashboard and the doors escaped the orange-yellow dance. These are ‘tastefully’ executed in beige, or have wooden accents. Whatever you think of the color combination, we have to agree on the finish. The counters, the buttons, the belts, everything is equally sublimely finished.
Thoroughly restored
That is also allowed, because the Porsche has been restored by Porsche Classic in Germany. The owner, His Highness Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah, the former Prime Minister of Kuwait, had driven just 29 kilometers with his Porsche in 12 years. However, he said the car was in need of a thorough overhaul. So the Sheik shipped it to specialists in Germany in 2010, only to pick it up again in 2014. In retrospect, he was probably still not completely satisfied with his order, as he has only driven 106 kilometers with his Porsche since then.
